In the all-out assault on smoking, we seem to overlook
a very important aspect of it. No, it’s not life-threatening illnesses and
disease. Everyone knows smoking kills. It’s not second-hand smoke either. The fact
that you can be affected by merely being around others who are smoking is now
common knowledge. That’s why so many countries have enacted no smoking laws
prohibiting where smokers can engage in the act. All of these facts have, at
this point, been ingrained into us from when most of us were young.

What isn’t talked about nearly as much is the
environmental damage that tobacco cigarettes wreak. It’s overlooked perhaps
because there isn’t the direct impact on our lives, such as there is with the
more grievous consequences of life-threatening illnesses. Yet this is also
something that takes a toll on our lives, one way or another. The primary way
that cigarettes are affecting the environment, at least in a visible way, is by
leaving us so many of those little pieces of rubbish we call cigarette butts.

Remember those? We used to finish our habit of smoking
and then we were left with this little piece of foam or plastic or paper, or
whatever we imagined it was made of. That thing we thought was delaying the inevitable
damage the smoke was doing to us, capturing that badness. Now, at the end of
the cigarette’s lifecycle, we were left with it and a lot of people don’t give
it much consideration at all.

They give it so little consideration that they don’t
even take the time to walk over to a rubbish bin and dispose of it properly. We
aren’t here to judge, although it is pretty awful when you think about it;
we’re just pointing out the current reality. These pieces of litter are
everywhere, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

Litter From Smoking Should Be Old News

It’s 2017 and it seems like this shouldn’t be an issue
any more, but it is. Millions of people still smoke, and their cigarette butts
are more often than not being littered somewhere. In fact, a recent
study showed that the most common litter on beaches in Chicago are cigarette
butts. This is despite America’s attempt to outlaw where people are smoking.

At the local Ohio Street Beach in Chicago, a total of
57,066 pieces of litter were recovered in the span of over a decade. In all of
that rubbish, almost 42% of it were cigarette butts. The astonishing thing here
is that smoking was prohibited on that beach from 2007, and this data was
collected between 2003 and 2014. That means it doesn’t matter that those laws
are in place, because smokers are still tossing their butts wherever they like.

Yet, as we mentioned earlier, this is not an
admonishment of smokers who litter. It’s a testament to how smoking contributes
to litter and devastates our environment. If we can’t stop people from
littering their cigarette butts, maybe we should focus on the primary cause of
them, which is in fact that so many people are still smoking.

Thankfully, this isn’t 2003 when your options for
making a switch away from tobacco cigarettes were quite narrow. No, we’re in
the era of vapour now. Vapour has the power to eliminate all of this damage of
cigarette butts, because it simply doesn’t leave any behind. With the premium
vaping options that are readily
available, you can get the satisfaction you need without the butts that
you, and our environment, certainly do not need. This is of course just one
benefit of vaping, but it’s perhaps an overlooked one. Well, we shouldn’t
ignore it any longer, because litter from smoking should be old news, but it
isn’t yet. We hope one day it will be.

It's now three weeks since I stopped smoking tobacco and it's all down to this shisha pen! It has a good throat hit, produces lots of vapour and is really smooth...

I've been vaping v2 for 3 years, half way through I tried to find an alternative I could buy locally without post, just pop in and pick up, an expensive exercise but none lived upto the smooth flavour and I tried from cheap to expensive, but there were none that compared to V2.
